Wenger: `Sanchez is not for sale!`

Arsene Wenger is adamant that Arsenal will not part with the leader Alexis Sanchez this summer, although he has not renewed his contract.
The player has a year of his contract with the Londoners but he said he wants to play in the Champions League, which in the new season is not going to happen because of the fifth place of Londoners in last campaign.
Manchester City continues to be interested in the player, but the Gunners` boss is adamant that the club will not sell its best player.
`The decision has been made and it is not to sell him. I don`t intend to change it.`, said Wenger, who is not particularly impressed by the claims that Sanchez himself has expressed a desire to be a part of the top tournament in Europe.
`I am not giving significance to the translation of things because I read the whole interview and it was different from what is published. For me, the focus is on the Premier League, which is more important than the champions. For 20 seasons, we were a part of the tournament and with Sanchez, we can get back to it.`, added Arsene, who some time ago sold Robin van Persie to Manchester United for 24 million pounds just before the final from partners draw predictions year of his contract.
`It is different now because then Robin would have been 31 while Alexis is younger. At the moment we are trying to strengthen the team and remain active in the transfer market and look for opportunities!`, said the Frenchman.
